Compensation is more than numbers—it communicates your organization’s values, approach to fairness, and commitment to employee growth. In this interactive roundtable, participants will explore how job titles and level definitions influence engagement, retention, and workforce planning, and how thoughtful compensation structures can bring clarity and purpose to an employee’s career journey.

The discussion will cover how organizations make decisions between market-based pay ranges and structured pay bands, highlighting the benefits and challenges of each. Participants will share strategies for balancing external competitiveness, internal consistency, and the need for both agility and transparency. Real-world experiences and perspectives on designing or refining a compensation framework that aligns with organizational values and goals are strongly encouraged.

Attendees will leave with practical, peer-tested insights and actionable ideas for connecting compensation design with strategy, culture, and the evolving needs of the workforce.
